Winner of the 2011 Computers and Composition Distinguished Book Award Winner of the 2012 Winifred Bryan Horner Outstanding Book Award from the Coalition of Women Scholars in the History of Rhetoric Winner of the 2013 CCCC Outstanding Book Award Technologies of Wonder: Rhetorical Practice in a Digital World considers the theoretical and pedagogical implications of designing academic scholarship in interactive digital media, and proposes renewed emphasis on embodied visual rhetoric and on the canon of arrangement as an active visual practice. This project uses the concept of the Wunderkammer to argue for techné and wonder as guiding principles for a revitalized visual canon of arrangement and as new models of invention and intervention in multimodal scholarly production.

Q: When the interface of an interactive, digital, scholarly article is designed as an integral part of the article's argument, what are the rhetorical, conceptual, and technical challenges of re-designing the project to better enact that argument? Susan Delagrange offers a behind-the-scenes look at the authorial and editorial processes that led to the publication ofWunderkammer, Cornell, and the Visual Canon of Arrangementin issue 13.2.

Designing constructive digital media is a process of mapping and remapping our physical and conceptual worlds in order to determine their meaning. When readers become composers, when users become designers, they may construct for themselves both a digitalWunderkammerof evidence and the potential associative connections available through arrangement and manipulation of that evidence. This project discusses these issues and translates them into praxis.
